This “Are you a Rebel or Yankee” activity is fun to do! 😅 Shared it with my bffs and family and they enjoyed doin it. 🤣 I am 44% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom 😀 #eng211fall22
#eng211fall22 I found an interesting article discussing how many languages it would be possible for one child to learn. Here's the link!

I found this article on language acquisition. A theory that was cool to read was about a theory from Skinner. “Skinner argued that children learn language based on behaviorist reinforcement principles by associating words with meanings.” https://t.co/uMaBIwSUSg #eng211fall22
I just found out that being bilingual is not one of the reason why a child is delayed in their speech. 🤯 All these years my family thinks the reason behind a language delay is because of having 2 spoken language— it’s a MYTH fam! #eng211fall22
#eng211fall22 Another thing we're learning this week is Language Acquisition. There are many theories around how one develops language, some of them more accurate than others.
As of now I've found 3 credible sources for my annotated bibliography. I think 4-5 sources will be enough. #eng211fall22
Annotated bibliographies are helpful for starting the process of a research paper. #eng211fall22
All my courses this semester really seem to mesh together well. While we we read about syntax, I also took my grammar quiz on participial and gerund phrases. #eng211fall22
I've noticed while reading through all the myths, humans are very resistant to change especially when it comes to language. #eng211fall22
The article about Syntax was a flashback to every single English class I've taken. It was a reminder how complex the structure of language can be. #eng211fall22
I viewed myth 8 in a more literal pov, I could see how people can use technology as a way of declining in
"proper" writing and speaking. Ipads used as notebooks, autocorrect used on every "paper." Whereas the error occurs more often on pen and paper. #eng211fall22
What’s crazy to me is that 1/3 of people getting married in the 1850s could not write their own name. That was interesting to read in myth 8. #eng211fall22
Towards the end of Myth 7 I liked how it discussed oversimplification of one part of a language leads to the complication of comparing other parts of a language. Learning is all subjective to the person learning a new language. #eng211fall22
There is no official method that can be used to prove or test that some languages are harder to learn than others. #eng211fall22
#eng211fall22 Today I read Myth 7 from our current reading: the myth that some languages are harder to learn than others. Really, there is no way to define this! Not only is it subjective, but it's really hard to pin down what makes one language "harder" than another.
After this weeks reading I’m reminded with how difficult the English language is. It brings back memories with my parents trying to learn it. #eng211fall22
@angelapaulinee I totally disagree with the myth! But the ideology of others to women—especially with gender roles, they do think we women are just too emotional when it comes to public settings. Which I find that annoying! #eng211fall22
I’ve been reviewing and note taking the vocab from this week’s chapter (from our Quizlets), I hope these help the rest of you out #eng211fall22 !
Please do not repost my notes, a simple retweet would be fine! 🙇♂️
Myth 6 went about as I expected. It's a misogynistic myth that women speak more than men and has been repeatedly disproven. I was unsurprised but found it interesting how it came down to power and how much power there is behind being the one who's speaking. #eng211fall22
I had to reread Myth 5 a few times to wrap my head around it. The English language may not be catastrophic, but it sure is complicated! #Eng211fall22
